Levels of Infinity Levels of Infinity
Transfinite numbers 0 (aleph null): the level of infinity describing the
number of the set of rational numbers and all infinite subsets (integers, natural numbers, even numbers, etc.)
1: next “higher” level of infinity
2: even “higher” level of infinity
c: the level of infinity describing the number of all real numbers does c = 1??

Anytime you have a 50 - 50
chance of getting something right,
there’s a 90% probability that
you’ll get it wrong.

SurveysSurveys
A recent survey measured how well today’s college students know American history. Researchers telephoned 556 randomly selected college seniors and asked them thirty-four multiple-choice questions. The students, as is traditional, did terribly. The researchers would have gotten basically the same results if they had surveyed 556 randomly selected carp. Of course you could argue that the survey was flawed, because only your truly stupid college students would remain on the phone while a stranger asked them thirty-four questions about American history. Intelligent college students would hang up and resume downloading music off the Internet.
